=== Call for Participation and Abstracts ===
This workshop welcomes participants and abstracts from any area of Synthetic Biology and related fields, including, but not limited to:
 * the design and engineering of molecular, cellular and population-based computation,
 * domain-specific languages for the specification of biological computation,
 * theories and applications of biological computation.

In addition to invited speakers, we will be accepting a few abstracts for oral and poster presentations.
Abstracts up to 2 pages in length following [[http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/nature/ecal2015/submissions.html|the formatting guidelines]] of the ECAL conference should be submitted to [[mailto:toprob@newcastle.ac.uk|toprob@newcastle.ac.uk]].
For accepted abstracts, we will later request a short summary paragraph.
